ISSUE P EVERY THURSDAY.

EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS.
THURSDAY...OCTOBER 15, 1890
Dr. Metcalfe was itching to start a new campaign paper here. He wanted us to print it for him, but failing to discern the wherewithal, we politely but firmly refused. To others he announced that he would consolidate his paper with the Independent, that the Democratic Sack at Santa Ana had been opened to him to the extent of $50, and that he would make matters lively for free silver so long as that held out. Finally it was announced that the first issue would be printed in the Standard office at Santa Ana—the paper to be paid for on delivery—and that the succeeding issues would be published "from the office in this city." The new candidate for public favor was to be called the New Era, and was to be "the leading society paper in Anaheim." "Much interesting reading had to be left out of the issue," but "this would not be permitted to occur again." The paper was to appear on Wednesday, a day ahead of us, and scoop the town generally. On Wednesday evening the important news was given out that Dr. Metcalfe was on a "toot." Thursday evening he was on a "high lonesome," Friday evening it had grown to the dimensions of a razzle-dazzle; and on Saturday had swollen to the magnificent proportions of an elegant jag.
The papers lay unmolested in the office of the Standard, and a couple of type-setters were out their wages; and those of the people who subscribed for the paper and paid their subscription in advance found themselves deceived and likewise taken in.
O ho! O ho! O ho!
See Dr. Metcalfe on the go!
To the Pop conventions he would go.
Without being registered—Oh! Oh! Oh!
He fooled the people all so so!
Now see the Dr. on the go!
O ho! O ho! O ho!
Dr. Metcalfe was a kind-hearted and affable gentleman, but he was quite altogether too unreliable, and he had a private system of settling accounts that was at once gorgeous and prismatic in its entirety. Farewell, old Socks; we shall not look upon his like again—except to hope for that $10 due bill that reposes snugly in the business managers' desk in this office. Farewell!

ver paper tried to get before the people, that the price of silver has risen and fallen coincidentally with the price of wheat and cotton. The statement is absurd upon the face of it. Silver has steadily fallen in price since 1873, and even if we should unfortunately have free coinage, the exorbitant increase in the output of the white metal would in all probability result in its still further depreciation.
A PECULIAR CAREER.
A SALVATION ARMY LASSIE KILLS HERSELF WITH POISON.
Butte (Mont.), Oct. 13.—Bertie Tripp, whose right name is supposed to be Helen Forest, a member of the Salvation Army, committed suicide by taking poison. No cause for the act is known. The girl has had a remarkable career. She was about 23 years of age and the daughter of a farmer living near Spokane. Years ago she ran away from home and fell in with a gambler and highwayman, and together they worked and robbed all through the States of Washington, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado.
The girl, having assumed male attire, passed under the name of Charles Miller. At different times she acted as bartender and placer miner. Three years ago she became involved in a shooting scape in Butte through jealousy of a girl who had been in love with the supposed youth. From Butte she and her partner went to Helena, where they committed numerous highway robberies, some of which she carried out herself. She hold up a merchant and was finally arrested and wrote to her partner, thus betraying him. His arrest followed.
In resisting, he shot a policeman. At the trial he testified in favor of his companion, whose sex had been discovered, and took all the blame upon himself. He was sent up for forty years, and she was acquitted. She then went to Portland and joined the Salvation Army, and has been engaged in army work all over the coast and Western States.
VENICE A DELUSION.
An Englishman finds Its Canals and Distances Not at All Entrancing.
An Englishman who has seen Venice but to be disillusionized writes of his impressions to The Westminster Budget as follows: "Here is a description of what these canals are, taken from my diary, and it is literally truthful, which the poets and the painters never are. On either side staggers a crowd of decayed buildings; from the roof downward they are a mass of squalid ruin; broken balconies cling to the stained and discolored walls, great scabs of plaster have fallen from their fronts as if a leprosy had eaten into them; for a wall blacker than paper tried to get before the people, that the price of silver has risen and fallen coincidentally with the price of wheat and cotton. The statement is absurd upon the face of it. Silver has steadily fallen in price since 1873, and even if we should unfortunately have free coinage, the exorbitant increase in the output of the white metal would in all probability result in its still further depreciation.

We may fairly conclude, then, that a banking system increases the working money. So does rapid means of munication, so does the telegraph, so must always remember that when has concluded one business transaction immediately available for another, or more rapidly it can be used the more it will do.
And in comparing the money supplied this country with that of any other country
BRYAN AND BONDS.
In his speech at Wheeling, W. Va., recently Mr. Bryan said:
They give us a bond issue, and then they let the people recover a little from that until they are able to stand another bond issue, and so they keep it up, and tell us they are administering the most important financial treatment to the patient.
Who does, Mr. Bryan? What Republican administration in your time has "given us a bond issue"? Who tells you that they are "administering the most important financial treatment to the patient"?
After the resumption of specie payments, following the war currency, Mr. Bryan, no Republican administration ever issued dollar of bond, and you know it. From March, 1881, to March, 1893, Republican administrations and Republican revenue laws reduced the interest-bearing debt from $1,660,935,000 to $585,034,260. Not a penny of new debt was incurred, and the people of this country were relieved of the burden of paying interest on over a billion dollars.
Until the Democratic free-trade administration with its Wilson tariff law brought a financial plague to this country, there were no bond issues—not a penny, not a mill. There was nothing but a paying off of debt, a wiping out of bonds.
You voted for the Wilson bill, Mr. Bryan. You were a member of the Ways and Means Committee that framed it. You demanded heavier reductions of duties than were made. You declared that protection was a curse. You asserted that you would die for free trade.
You still stand for that free trade, Mr. Bryan. Your Chicago platform indoles it, and you accept every word of its free trade declarations. If you were elected president your Wilson law would continue to produce a deficit which now is piling up at the rate of $100,000,000 a year.
You are responsible for the bond issues—you and Cleveland and Wilson and the other free traders who destroyed the McKinley tariff law. And if you were elected president those bond issues would multiply over and over again, for the Wilson law would make no more revenues for you than it has made for Grover Cleveland. It would make less, with the country in a panic and all values wrecked.
We are in receipt of a letter from our friend Judge I. N. Everett of Santa Ana, directing our attention to a tissue of misstatements connecting the fall of silver with the decline in the price of wheat and cotton, and appearing in the still-born New Era, which was printed at Santa Ana last week for circulation here; but which was never circumnavigated.
An Englishman who has seen Venice but to be disillusionized writes of his impressions to The Westminster Budget as follows: "Here is a description of what these canals are, taken from my diary, and it is literally truthful, which the poets and the painters never are. On either side staggers a crowd of decayed buildings; from the roof downward they are a mass of aquailid ruin; broken balconies cling to the stained and discolored walls, great scabs of plaster have fallen from their fronts as if leprosy had eaten into them; for a foot above the water the walls are black with slime, the broken windows are stuffed with rags or paper, the shattered steps lead up to doors that swing by one hinge; the steps themselves are slippery with a greasy scum; to the edge of the lower stair there is a fringe of foul green weed—it swings slowly in the crawling water; the iron grilles, once so beautiful, are eaten by bitter salt rust, the shutters hang at all angles, flapping and creaking in the wind; in the crayal balconies there is a lumber of broken flowerpots with dead flowers in them, and through all these rocking alleys the greenish gray water slowly pulses and cozies, covered with straw, eggshells, cabbage stalks and nameless refuse. Over all this brood a hundred filthy and obscene smells, each canal contributing a particularly putrid stench of its own. No longer does Venice sit in state; hour by hour and stone by stone she is sinking into her dishonored grave.
"Night in Venice and music on the canal—that surely would have its old charm. I had pictured the soft air, pulsing with sweet voices, and over all a sky 'thick inlaid with patines of bright gold.' Well, every night about 8 the singing certainly began, guitars tinkled, and now and then one heard a fairly good tenor voice, but as a rule the men's voices were harsh and worn, and the women's indescribably shrill, and the songs they sang were Verdi and Bellini at their worst—'Ah, Che Is Morte,' and its companion absurdities. And when once they began they kept on no sooner had one boatload of singers exhausted its repertory than another took up its place and repeated the same songs with the same quaverings and tinklings."
CHANGES IN THE BY-LAWS.
It is proposed to amend the by-laws of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company by adopting the following amendment thereto: "Water shall be distributed for irrigation purposes from the canals of the corporation in such manner as shall be most equitable and just to all parties interested therein, and other things being equal, in regular rotation to all gates on said canals; always provided that no water shall be distributed except to stockholders, and that no water shall be sold by the company or furnished by any stockholder to be run on land not covered by stock, and nothing in these by-laws shall be construed as giving any person by persons the right to open a gate or take water from any point on the canals of the company, except through the direct action of the zanjeros appointed by the Board of Directors, and any stockholder improperly taking the water from said canals shall forfeit to the company not less than $10 nor more than $50; at the discretion of the Board of Directors, in addition to the value of the water so taken. It shall be the duty of all officers and employees of this company.

On Los Angeles. At intervals of five balances are settled between the banks.
An investigation by the Comptroller. The Currency made in 1881, again in 1892 shows that ninety per cent of all business is done means of checks, drafts, bills of exchange by this "credit" machinery, as it is often.
We may fairly conclude, then, that a banking system increases the working money. So does rapid means ofmunication, so does the telegraph, must always remember that when he has concluded bare business transaction immediately available for another, more rapidly it can be used the more money it will do.
And in comparing the money supplied this country with that of any other one we must never lose sight of the fact matters other than the mere amount money are to be taken into consider such as: Is the country well supplied railroads? With telegraphs? Has it scattered at convenient points? Are people accustomed to use them for convenience? Are their minds alerted educated? Do they decide quickly in news affairs? All these things, and are factors in the working-power of it.
All this vast structure of finance so laboriously the Bryanites are attack its very foundation—a fixed, stable value. And when we tell them they succeed in their designs it will crush with misery following in it which no human eye can foresee; we offered? An experiment, and animent that has always failed, for now in any age, under any conditions; by government succeeded in creating standard of value by legislative force has been tried time and again; and with one result—failure.
We have to-day more money per day than any other among the great nations world, except France, and France no approach to our banking systems in larger cities; so that its money does work as rapidly as our own.
On July 1st last, our supply of more fifteen hundred and ten millions. The past two years this shows a decrease many millions; for the fear of this station had led to the calling of loans which no human eye can foresee. But in spite of hard times has been at work and has been its productions; and since July 1 brought back into this country millions of gold and it is still Mark this, the man who drives these strikes the iron or draws these strokes more wealth and the more money, than Mr. Bryan possibly talks himself black in face or crates if they get into Congress and goes from now to eternity.
The productions are being paid for depreciated silver; but in good soil good as gold or an amount per about $22.
For every man, woman and America it is, say $22; or for a family $110.
Is this sufficient? It depends on the state of business confidence use made of it. If used once we do $5,700 of business each year every day it will do over $34,000 each year. Of course the average does not average that amount of a year. By the best statistics the expenditure of a family is about year; and allowing for the fact that commodity in going produces through eight or nine and so the value appears that times in total of business transactions come to the conclusion that our money is only used about once a year.
This curiosity confirmed by all
We are in receipt of a letter from our friend Judge I. N. Everett of Santa Ana, directing our attention to a tissue of misstatements connecting the fall of silver with the decline in the price of wheat and cotton, and appearing in the still-born New Era, which was printed at Santa Ana last week for circulation here; but which we never circumnlated, except a few "sample copies," one of which has evidently fallen into the Judge's hands.
Whatever might have been said in reference to politics by the editor of the new paper which died before it was born, had best be passed by in charity unobserved. That unfortunate gentleman was not the man from whom to expect any learned disquisition upon subjects of a political nature, or in fact upon subjects of any weighty nature whatever. We draw the mantle of charity over his shortcomings; but nothing that he has done—not even the putting of our eye out for a large sum of kopecks—pains us more than this statement which he gives utterance to, that the fall in the price of silver is associated with the decline in the price of wheat and cotton. The recent substantial rise in the price of wheat, netting millions of dollars to the American farmer and holder of wheat, should disprove this fully to even the loudest shouter in the free silver crowd.
It is significant that the Bryan crowd usually limit the comparison to wheat, but the table in Dr. Metcalfe's paper, whose light went out before it was lit, disproves the claim, for wheat advanced in 1874, '79 and '85 and '88, and silver declined in each of those years. Wheat, corn, cotton, oats, and mess pork rose and fell in price from 1873 to 1881, and in 1894, the last figures at hand, corn was 5 cents higher per bushel and oats and mess pork were the same as in 1873. The prices are in coin at both times, for it is not fair to measure by gold in 1894-6 and by depreciated paper in 1873. Greenbacks were worth 86.4 in 1873, and 87½ in 1872, in gold. Wheat in 1873 was worth $1 per bushel in coin and $1.19 in 1881. It has recently risen sharply in price, while silver has continued to decline. There is nothing in the story that this new free silk rotation to all gates on said canals; always provided that no water shall be distributed except to stockholders, and that no water shall be sold by the company or furnished by any stockholder to be run on land not covered by stock, and nothing in these by-laws shall be construed as giving any person by persons the right to open a gate or take water from any point on the canals of the company, except through the direct action of the zanjeros appointed by the Board of Directors, and any stockholder improperly taking the water from said canals shall forfeit to the company not less than $10 nor more than $50, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, in addition to the value of the water so taken. It shall be the duty of all officers and employees of this company becoming cognizant of such offense to report it without delay to the secretary of the company, who shall report the matter to the Board of Directors, and upon receiving such report the board shall proceed to investigate the charge, and if the stockholder be considered guilty of the offense they shall order that no water shall be delivered to the offending stockholder or to any person to run on the land of any stockholder who has violated this by-law until the fine imposed had been paid, and if they deem it advisable they may also take legal action in the matter. Water shall be furnished to stockholders at a price per hour to be regulated from time to time by the Board of Directors for each head of water or fractional part thereof, consisting of 100 inches under a pressure of four inches at the nearest distributing gate on one of the company's canals. From March 1st to September 30th days hours to extend from 5 o'clock a.m. to 7 o'clock p.m., and night hours from 7 o'clock p.m. to 5 o'clock a.m. From October 1st to February 29th day hours to extend from 6 o'clock a.m. to 6 o'clock p.m., and night hours from 6 o'clock p.m. to 6 o'clock a.m., providing the rates fixed by the Board of Directors shall always be sufficient to pay the expenses of running the water."
The United States practice ship Bancroft, whose departure for European waters has been the subject of profound mystery, is to play an important part in the effort of the powers to bring about a settlement of the Turkish question. The little vessel is to force the Dardanelles with Minister Terrell standing on her deck, and if any obstacles are placed in the way by the Turkish forts, the Mediterranean fleet, under Admiral Selfridge, now 140 miles away, will come to her assistance. The British fleet will no doubt also be near at hand to back up the American commander, ifoccasion arises.

America it is, say $22, or for a family $110.
Is this sufficient? It depends on the state of business confidence, use made of it. If used once a week do $5,700 of business each year every day it will do over $34,000 each year. Of course the average does not average that amount of money by a year. By the beat statistics this expenditure of a family is about year, and allowing for the fact that commodity in going from produce summer passes through eight or nine and so the value appears that times in total of business transactions come to the conclusion that our money is only used about once a year.
This is curiously confirmed by action and comparison of clearing ports, trade statistics, and comprotiler of the currency on account of money, and we believe it totally correct. Another way of doing something is that five sixths of money lies idle, yet our free coins assure us gravely that we need money Allowing for erroneous and imperfect sales we can at least say that stock of money is not beginning at work of which it is capable.
Then plant the field, open thither and have no fear that we have money to transact the resulting bounty.
Often a year or more elapses before time a manufacturer assembles his finished product.
How can he enter upon new engagements in new business when there is a standard of value tampered with? Threaten that price ceases, trade languishes ceases to circulate, for there is it to do. The Populists have too much evil with their aggrievances. Let it be the task of Democrat tobury them deep in America.
Our stock of money is not only but is increasing steadily, and due to population it is per capita, in 1872 about $18, and risen to about $22.
The production of gold is also throughout the world. It is estimated two hundred and thirty-five thousand gold pieces have paid for in gold, by holding gold standard—not allowing foreign exchange off on us their depredation twice its value under a free coin.

THE MONEY SUPPLY.
Possessing the amount of money in circulation we observe often a disposition to from the total, such amount as is in the banks, the idea being, we preach that this is not in active use. That correct, and to illustrate let us say having money in the bank, and owning it to B, pays him by giving him which B deposits to his credit.
This taken place! The money formerly used to A, now it belongs to B. The ship has changed. The actual money unattached in the bank vaults, and been in active circulation. As a fact the ownership of money lying in banks is constantly changing. To-day change to certain men, to-morrow to vary with the business transacted, check may well be called a title deed key, a device to save the bother and carrying about the actual coin.
Oo C, living in Los Angeles, having to money in San Francisco, goes to his land gets a draft, while D living in San Diego and having to pay money in Los Angeles does the same thing at his bank.
The two banks then by exchange of cash avoid the risk and delay of sending two amounts back and forth.
My render available for C the money of San Francisco and for D the money of Los Angeles. At intervals of course is settled between the banks.
Investigation by the Comptroller of currency made in 1881, again in 1890, till again in 1892, shows that over per cent of all business is done by checks, drafts, bills of exchange—“credit” machinery, as it is called. May fairly conclude, then, that a good system increases the working power money. So does rapid means of computation, so does the telegraph, for we always remember that when money included bee business transaction, it is rapidly available for another, and the rapidly it can be used the more work will do.

Renewals of Mortgages.
Suppose that Bryan is elected and that he has back of him a popocratle Congress which speedily passes a free coinage law and a law forbidding the making of contracts payable in gold or any other specified kind of money, for both of these “reforms” are promised by the popocratic aggregation, what effect will this have upon the renewal of gold mortgages?
A great deal of property on the Pacific Coast is mortgaged, and all these mortgages are payable in gold coin of the United States. In the event of the election of Bryan all mortgages that are collectible will doubtless be collected within a few months while sound money can be obtained, but there may be those who, upon an equitable basis, will be willing to grant a renewal of mortgages payable in lawful money only. Upon what basis will such renewals be made?
It is believed by Republicans that under free coinage the silver dollar will greatly depreciated in value. Some

ADVANCE NOTICES OF A NEW DEMOCRATIC PAPER WHICH NEVER APPEARED.
Prof. Welch's Santa Ana Corr. In L. A. Herald,
Santa Ana, Oct. 1.—The New Era, with
W. L. Metcalfe editor, will make its appearance on Wednesday, Oct. 7, 1896. The Era will be published at Anaheim, and will espouse the cause of the people, as represented by W. J. Bryan. Mr. Metcalfe is in the city to-day, and tells us that the new paper starts with every prospect of proving a financial success.
From the Santa Ana Standard.
Our friend W. L. Metcalfe of Anaheim will start up a campaign paper next week in the interest of the silver question. He is a good writer and loyal to the best interests of the working people. We wish him success.
From the Fullerton Tribune.
W. L. Metcalfe was over from Anaheim yesterday. He informs us that he will begin the publication of a free silver newspaper — The New Era — at Anaheim next week.
HOW MONEY CIRCULATES.
When Flush, When Tight and What Makes the Difference.
While the Mechanics' Fair was in session at San Francisco a number of great centrifugal pumps, each throwing a stream of water as large around as the body of a man, were seen pumping out of a wooden tank of no great size and yet they did not lower the water in the tank, and for the reason that they were pumping into the tank as fast as they were pumping out of it. The water was all in circulation, very active circulation. Hundreds and thousands of gallons of it were being pumped every hour, but there was plenty of it in the tank at all times and plenty of it for the pumps to work on to show their capacity, and for the reason that it went into the tank as fast as it came out.
There are fifteen millions of wage earners in the United States and they get an average wage of $2 per day and therefore every weekly pay day there is paid to the workers of America somewhere between $150,000,000 and $180,000,000 in good American money. In ten consecutive weeks there is paid to these workers about all the money there is in the United States. If they could hold on to their wages for ten consecutive weeks and not spend a cent of it, hoard it all, they would have an absolute monopoly of all the money in the country.
And much good would this monopoly do them! It would block the wheels of trade, stop everything, manufacturing, commerce, transportation — absolutely everything except the growing of crops already planted. But the wage earners do not do this, that is, not to any great extent at any time and not at all in good times. Every dollar that is paid them goes right back into the common tank—the bank—and there is just as much there as ever was. If the bills of the week are paid and if there is a surplus left over for a rainy day that goes into a savings bank and that is only another name for one end or part of the common tank into and out of which all the people are pouring and pumping their earnings.
When there is a want of confidence and people do not know but what there will be a pumping out of this common tank — our banking system — without pumping into it, why then they all do that thing, pump out without affect will have open access to gold mortgages?
A great deal of property on the Pacific Coast is mortgaged, and all these mortgages are payable in gold coin of the United States. In the event of the election of Bryan all mortgages that are collectible will doubtless be collected within a few months while sound money can be obtained, but there may be those who, upon an equitable basis, will be willing to grant a renewal of mortgages payable in lawful money only. Upon what basis will such renewals be made?
It is believed by Republicans that under free coinage the silver dollar will greatly depreciated in value. Some say that a silver dollar will be worth about 55 cents in gold and will only pay 55 cents worth of a gold debt. Others more hopeful, think that a silver dollar may get to be worth as much as 75 cents in gold. If the former of these estimates of the gold value of a silver dollar should prove to be the fact, then the silver value of a gold dollar would be about $1.82; if the latter, then it will be $1.33.
Therefore, for each dollar of a gold debt the renewer of his mortgage will have to give a new note and mortgage for $1.33 to $1.82. That is what the popocratic proposition to coin silver free and forbid the making of special contracts will result in. And this is to be done "for the benefit of the people!"

CATARRH OF THE HEAD AND THROAT—Nose or throat fever, nose stopped up or stuffed, dropping in the throat, blowing out offensive chunks in the morning, hawking and spitting, breath foul or irritation, sense of smell failing, eyes weak and watery.
CATARRH OF THE STOMACH AND BOWLS—Appetite poor, heartburn or sour stomach, food intolerance or pain you, bloat or belch gas after eating, dizziness, heart palpitation, pain over the stomach and bowels, vomiting or...
Is this sufficient? It depends entirely on the state of business confidence, and the made of it. If used once a week it will be $5,700 of business each year, if used every day it will do over $34,000 of business each year. Of course the average family does not average that amount of business in year. By the best statistics the average expenditure of a family is about $600 per year, and allowing for the fact that every commodity in going to producer to consumer passes through eight or nine hands, and so the value appears that number of times in the total of business transacted, we come to the conclusion that our total of money is only used about once a week.
This is curiously confirmed by an examination and comparison of clearing house reports, trade statistics, and reports of the comptroller of the currency on the movement of money, and we believe is substantially correct. Another way of stating the same thing is that five sixths of the time money lies idle, yet our free coinage friends assure us gravely that we need more money. Allowing for erroneous and imperfect statistics, we can at least say that our present took of money is not beginning to perform the work of which it is capable.
Then plant the field, open the factory, and have no fear that we have not enough money to transact the resulting business.
Often a year or more elapses between the time a manufacturer assembles his raw material and the time he receives his pay for his finished product.
How can he enter upon new enterprises or engage in new business when the very foundation upon which he must base his calculations—the standard of value—is being tampered with? Threaten that, and enterprise ceases, trade languishes and money ceases to circulate, for there is no work for it to do. The Populists have already done too much evil with their agitation and threats. Let it be the task of every Democrat to bury them deep in November.
Our stock of money is not only abundant, but is increasing steadily, and faster than the population. In 1860 it was about $14 per capita, in 1872 about $18, and now has risen to about $22.
The production of gold is increasing also throughout the world. This year it is estimated two hundred and thirty millions will be added to the existing stock. There is no scarcity of gold. We have the product of our own mines for coinage, and what productions we sell abroad we have paid for in gold, by holding fast to the gold standard—not allowing foreign nations to shove off on us their depreciated silver at twice its value under a free coinage law.
We do not believe any thinking man can examine all sides of the question without determining that we have, and can maintain good times. Every dollar that is paid them goes right back into the common tank—the bank—and there is just as much there as ever there was. If the bills of the week are paid and if there is a surplus left over for a rainy day that goes into a savings bank and that is only another name for one end or part of the common tank into and out of which all the people are pouring and pumping their earnings.
When there is a want of confidence and people do not know but what there will be a pumping out of this common tank—our banking system—without pumping into it, why then they all do just that thing, pump out without pumping in, and then the money tightens very quickly and very disastrously. If the wage-earners, not knowing when they will get any more money or where to put it so that it will be safe and not leak out, go to hoarding their money, a stop is put to most everything in the way of business and times are made hard and business dull.
But when there is the fullest confidence that there will be a pumping in as well as a pumping out of the tank, business may be as active as possible and there will be no lack of money to do business on. At the fair it did not matter whether the pumps ran fast or slow there was always plenty of water in the tank. And so there is probably money enough in this country now to do any amount of business on if only people had confidence in the administration of affairs; if it were not for the great leak in the common tank out of which so much gold poured to Europe; if it were not for fear of a general "monkeying" with the tank by a lot of financial experimenters and schemers. Put the custody of our financial system back into the hands of the Republican party which managed it so well for so many years and business will start right up and money for legitimate enterprise will not be wanting.
The point I want to make in the little talk I give you this morning is that the Government does not create money, can not create money and whatever money it needs it has got to collect from taxes on its people, either by a system of direct taxation or by a system of indirect taxation known as the tariff, and if the Government wants to have any gold or silver minted for its own use it has got to pay for that gold and silver just as you and I have to pay for it if we want it for our purposes.—William McKinley.
